Expansion of the Heart

A Women’s Half Day Retreat

Are you ready for real change?

Are you ready to dismantle limiting believes that have kept you stagnant and in a repetitive loop?

Are you ready to reimagine your most authentic self while reclaiming and expressing your power?

Step into the unbroken circle and may the fabric of time allow you to open yourself to new and unlimited possibilities. Recommit yourself to the true essence of your visions and that which you have been inspired to do. Surrender to your willingness to meet and release your fears and receive the gifts of FREEDOM, PEACE, PROSPERITY and OPPORTUNITY.

Rediscover your strength to open up and let others connect to your powerful, awakened and beautiful heart. You have the strength and wisdom to let go of reoccurring cycles.

Even in the face of opposition, rise and transcend. Even if you are afraid, call upon your heart to be brave and reinvent yourself without needing external permission or acceptance.  -Aki Kin 

What’s included…

  • Discover the transformative power of Heart Expansion in an unforgettable keynote workshop, guided by the highly-respected Transformational Coach, Kayla Burch. Crafted exclusively for women on the cusp of life-altering change, this enriching experience serves as a sacred and judgement-free haven for exploring and disassembling deeply-rooted limiting beliefs. What makes Kayla truly unique is her melding of contemporary psychology and timeless truths, a synergy that transcends traditional coaching and directly facilitates the expansion of your heart.

  • Combined with the Spirit of Cacao, we are guided to consult with the wisdom of our heart, our wisest advisor, so that with trust, courage, stamina and ferocity we may allow the expansion and evolution of our hearts.

    Cacao has been used in ceremony for thousands of years in indigenous communities across many ancient civilizations. Cacao helps us open our hearts and connect to the natural world by taking us on a journey of healing and remembrance of innate wisdom. We gather together in sacred circle with the gentle support of Mama Cacao to fully express our divine essence while entering a state of attunement. We recommit ourselves to unity which is essential for the weaving of human life and call upon the ancestors for support.

  • Experience the most ancient and natural form of healing through the use of sound entrainment. This peaceful sound bath will promote a sense of tranquility surrounding you, bringing your body, mind and soul back into a state of harmony and balance. Enjoy a relaxing journey where you will be deeply immersed in the vibrations and sounds of quartz crystal singing bowls and various instruments. Sound frequencies are used to treat ailments, relieve stress, calm the nervous system and for overall healing and wellness. Allow the sounds to cleanse your energy and put you back in tune with your center.

  • Experience a transformative empowerment photo session with the talented storytelling photographer, Paige Rains. You will be able to choose between 2 powerful options: a session centered around somatic dance or confident woman portraits. Whether you want to express your inner strength through movement or capture your unwavering confidence in a portrait, Paige will work with you to create stunning images that reflect your true essence. This empowering photo session is an opportunity to celebrate your unique beauty and resilience, leaving you with lasting, inspirational images that reflect your journey of expanding and self-empowerment.
